Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter or shortening.
- Microwave butter and bittersweet chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl on high 1½ minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals.
- Whisk in sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition.
- Add red food coloring, vanilla and buttermilk and whisk until thoroughly blended.
- With a wooden spoon, gently stir in flour, cocoa powder and salt. Pour and spread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake 25-35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in pan on wire rack before frosting.
- While brownies cool, make frosting: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with electric mixer until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and salt, beating until blended. Stir in vanilla.
- Frost cooled brownies and store in refrigerator.
